ITEM ABOUT BRUCE WILLIS FAN FIT DOESN’T FIT

Bruce Willis Emma Heming Fashion Week Perez Hilton Radar

A spy for Radar reports that Bruce Willis “exploded” at a Fashion Week event in New York when a fan got too close to him and wife Emma Heming.

According to the story, Willis was having drinks in a VIP lounge backstage when some women began snapping photos. “Bruce was gracious,” says the eyewitness, “smiling for some of the shots.”

But things got ugly when one fan got too close and poked the “Die Hard” star in the shoulder. According to Perez Hilton and others who picked up the account, an irate Willis “freaked THE EFF out” on the admirer, sticking a finger in her face and warning, “Don’t you EVER touch me again, understand?” Willis then left in a huff.

Gossip Cop thought this sounded a little out of character for Willis, who we’ve covered for years, and wondered if there was more to it. There was. A rep tells us that Willis and Heming were at the event, and that he did sign autographs and take photos with fans but “was so startled by this one particular fan and the way in which this fan was behaving that he quickly became concerned for his wife’s safety.”

While it’s true Willis was a bit upset, Gossip Cop understands how he feared for his new bride and acted the way he did.
